I have reworded this post as it was a bit miss leading before. These came from a friend of mine and are just put togethers for disdplay. The bodies are WW2 C (The Crane Co.). And they are green for the display. Thanks

These were a gift as well. My friend Ed repainted them. These also have the perverbial hole in the bottom. I'll try to share what remains of the fuses when I get a chance. California law is a tricky thing with this stuff.

I agree @Davejb, I think mine may have been practice? the fuzes look decat, the grenade bodies are both C marked, not sure what era the fuzes are but it all makes for a nice display! :)

For WWII authenticity they should have any of the M10 series fuzes fitted, M12 is 1950's era and the M228 is modern. Practice grenade bodies are called the M21 and had the hole in the bottom, they would have been blue coloured.

My apologies @Private Joker, I should have titled and worded my posting differently as these are just put together dummys for display purpose, to give the look and feel of a grenade to people that come to my house who have never seen one. Thanks for your info though as it will be helpful to those that dont know. Its a good Topic discussion . Cheers!
